Title: You need to build your life storm resistant, anchored to the word of God in Jesus Christ.
“Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.”
Luke 6:47-48 KJV
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.”
Luke 21:33 KJV.
After coming to Jesus Christ you need to get anchored in His word. Notice the Lord Jesus Christ described three actions: coming to Him, hearing His word and doing the word or practicing His word. Coming to Him is repentance and believing that He died for you and rose again, asking Him to come into your life to be your Lord. At this point you are born again, forgiven of your sin (see 1), adopted to be a child of God, (see 2) and redeemed (see 3).
You then need to be renewed in your mind as you read the word of God and to do as it says. Your belief system and actions are then anchored on His word. The word of God then says "when" the storms come, please notice it does not say "if" the storms come- why? Because the coming of the storms is a certainty. Wow! Many lives, relationships, are wrecked by storms which came when they were not anchored. His word also says heaven and earth shall pass away but my word shall not pass away. His word further says in Hebrews 12:26-28 that we are receiving the kingdom of God which cannot be shaken and that everything that is shakable shall be shaken.
So child of God become anchored in His word, take time to study and meditate on it. Do what it says and that is wisdom and you will build your life storm resistant. Glory be to God forevermore.
